BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) is seeking information on commercially available digital forensics hardware and software tools to meet the needs of emergency responders and protective services. This information is being sought for the DHS Science and Technology Directorate's System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) program to assist emergency responders making procurement decisions. The SAVER program conducts objective assessments and validations on commercially available equipment and systems and develops knowledge products that provide relevant equipment information to the emergency responder community. Information provided by the SAVER program will be shared nationally with the responder community, providing a life- and cost-saving asset to DHS, as well as to Federal, state, and local responders. For more information on the SAVER program, visit the SAVER website at https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/saver. SAVER provides information on equipment that falls within the categories listed in the DHS Authorized Equipment List (AEL). The AEL item number for the subject equipment is FEMA AEL Number 05HS-00-FRNS, Software, Forensic. The target audience for this information is emergency response personnel, law enforcement officials, public safety providers, and their purchasing agents. II. SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION Respondents are required to complete a written Product Summary Questionnaire for each product. The questionnaire may be obtained via e-mail from the technical point of contact, Andy Chen, at andy.chen@hq.dhs.gov (see below).

Point(s) of contact (name, title, e-mail, and phone number) 4. Business type and size (manufacturer or distributor, small or large business) 5. Product name, type, description, and specifications 6. Cost information (purchase price and General Services Administration [GSA] schedule information). All information received will be treated as public knowledge and may be used in SAVER program documentation; therefore, vendors should not submit proprietary information in response to this RFI. Responses to this RFI must be submitted to Andy Chen not later than 4:00 PM EST, September 28, 2018. All technical comments, inquiries, and responses should be directed to Andy Chen via e-mail at andy.chen@hq.dhs.gov; all non-technical questions should be directed to Ms. Sharon Flowers, DHS Contracting Officer, via e-mail at Sharon.Flowers@hq.dhs.gov III.

Therefore, requests for feedback should not be made through the Federal Business Opportunities posting agency. Vendors may be contacted following submission for more detailed product information. Vendor provided information may be reformatted for publication in SAVER program documents. This RFI is for information gathering and planning purposes only, and should not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or solicitation of an offer.
